Death is always an unwelcome visitor to
surviving friends, though the spirit has long
been struggling to be released, and the
tired and suffering body has prayed for
eternal rest. No matter how long anxious
friends have watched by the bedside Ofa
dear one, knowing that the death-angel
must soon invade the household. they ale
never quite prepared for his coming and
though they know that the separation OF
the body and spirit is happy release from
the pain consequent upon the ravages OF
disease. when final dissolution does come,
it leaves.a terrible sting behind it.
The death of Mrs. Mary N. Hartman is
peculiarly sad one. She was the young
est daughter OF William McKelyy deceased,
and widow of the late J. ii. Harman. She
leaves three children, viz: Harry w.
Hess, son of her first husband, John Hess.
Samuel and Helen Harman, children OF her
second marriage; and stepdaughter, Mrs,
Lizzie Fulton. BY the death of Mrs. Har-
man, they are all deprived of an affection
ate, christian mother, their home is brokeh
up, and they will be separated. Though
kind friend. may do all in their power to
tighten the sorrows of the bereaved ones,
the mothers place can never be tiled, and
no other home can be to them like their
own home.
Mrs. Harman was born on Feb. II, 1889,
and died January 81, 1887 For several
years past she knew that she was victim
of consumption, and for some months pre-
vious to her death she was confined to her
room. She was for many years member
of st. Paul's Episcopal Church, and took
an active interest in all church matters so
long as her health permitted. Her faith
was steadfast, and she frequently expressed
| desire to close her eyes in the sleep that
knows no waking until the great judgment
day. For her, death had no terrors, for
she had lived the life of the righteous, and
her end was peace. The funeral took place
on Thursday afternoon at half past two o..
clock at the residence, and the attendance
was large The beautiful burial service of
the Episcopal Church was read by Rev.
| w. G. Leverett, and the remains were in
tered in Rosemont Cemetery. Many floral
designs, the gifts of sorrowing friends,
rested upon the caskct.

Battle OF Getrys burg.

The people of this town had the pleasure
OF seeing Monday and Tuesday last, ten
magnificent oil paintings representing the
great battle of Gettysburg. The paintings
gave the figures life size, and with the
clear explanations of Gen. st. Clair A. Mul-
holland, who participated in the battle, the
audience could almost imagine they were
witnessing the actual battle There was a
good attendance of school children at the
Matinee Tuesday afternoon. 1t was good
lesson in history for them. one that will i'm
press itself upon the memory, and being
so accurately portrayed, must certainly
more than repay them for the small price

speedy and elfectual cure of coughs, colds
and the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on
an entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions gwen by Physicians,
as it does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-

heals the parts affected and leaves them in

There will be more than the usual num-
Der of fittings next spring. Mr. Reese
Fairman will move to West Hazleton
where he will take charge of the Natural
Growth Hotel. We know of no one who
will be more missed than he. We wish
him success in his undertaking. Hope he
may make money enough in few years to
retire and settle down among his old
friends. Mrs. Mary Ent will move to
Bloomsbury. We can't get along very
well without Mary. Her services as dress
maker are in demand by all the families in
town. Ed. Stttler and Henry Oman will
move to Nantcoke. Their stay there will
likely be only temporary for they go now
only to have their families near their work.
